Inside Story (1974) : 11x4

The investigative documentary series goes on the buses to take the pulse of a city that is grinding to a halt. Driving one of London's famous red buses has become a nightmare. One veteran double-decker driver, John Elwood , fears for his health: "I've driven a red bus for 33 years, but now the stress is too much. I've got a real blood pressure problem." Traffic congestion, irate passengers, bomb alerts and the threat of privatisation are constant hazards facing the busmen and women of a capital city on the brink of crisis.
